To be clear - they also work with data transfer (well, except the power bank and neck cooler).

I copy ebooks to my reader over USB, transfer photos off my camera, and print photos - all via USB-C.

All my gadgets use USB-C. Bluetooth headphones, eReader, laptop, printer, power bank, 360 camera, they all charge via USB-C.

Hell, even my neck cooler runs off it.

Has anyone here read the book? I enjoyed the film and wondered how they compared.

FireStick is somewhat hackable. You can sideload Android apps onto it. For example, I got Apple Music running on it https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/yes-you-can-run-apple-music-natively-on-your-android-firestick/

You don't have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to use the other TV services. You can also install Kodi if you want to play back local media.

The FireStick will use USB power - so you can use your TV's USB ports rather than a separate plug. It also has an Ethernet adapter - I think only the more expensive Apple devices use Ethernet.

The drive itself will work with any processor. If all you have is data on there, it will work.

Or do you mean you want to swap the drive which has the operating system on it?

Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.

Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?

I loved teaching Scratch. And I've written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/

I think they're useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren't powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
